The Whim of Words

Well lately i have found that i will be speaking english and suddenly forget the word the i want to say adn so i will say it in spanish instead! Isn´t that wierd!
Also today i talked to Deklan, my friend on exhcange in france! We haven´t talked to eachother (voice wise) in about 6 or 7 months! So it was great to hear from him and find out how his life has been! He has been lucky (i think so at least) in that he will be going skiing!!
But I will be traveling the Ruta Maya in about 3 weeks time sooo i guess i´m pretty lucky too! And MOMMY AND DADDY ARE COMMING!!!!!  yeah my parents decided to come visit me easter weekend in april! I´m really excited about it!

LAso i have a challenge tomorrow! My friends were soo confident in my volleyball skills (which aren´t all that good they just happened to be watching me play three on one) that they bet with my gym teacher that one other preson and myself could win against him and our prefecto!!! And the loser has to buy tortas!! so i have to win tomorrow!I don´t want to pay!!! So me and my friend Gaby are gonna play tomorrow!

Also this weekend i have 2 soccer games! And i will FINALLY get my jersey!! i´ve been requesting one for soo long! YAY!!! so i´m quite happy about that and my jersey for volleyball should be coming soon! But my fitness is really doen so i hope i hold up since coach wants me to play the whole game.  Here i´m defense, htey wanted me to be goalie but then the defense was too weak so they put me in d.

Puerto Del Aire

I WENT CAMPING!!!!! I stayed in a cabin, htat actually smelt cabin-ish, cabaña = cabin!! It was soo foggy when we got there that you couldn´t see someone after they ran for about 10 seconds! I went with my friend Kenzie, her host family (mom, dad and brother) and her brothers 2 friends! Thier names were Carlos and José Miguel, his nickname was Pepé the name of my turtle!!! We got to walk around but it got cold inhte night so we went back into the cabin.  We wached the movie The Strangers which i got really scared watching but it was actually quite interesting but made me sad to watch, we then watched The Shinning which must have been a good movie when it first came out but now i wasn´t scared at all.  Still it was interesting to watch. And the boys reminded me of six year old girls! they were always complaining and talkng and wanting and my gosh they are 13!!! they couldn´t get comfortable on how to sleep and had to change thier postions many times! and then they told us , who were quitley watching our movie to shut up (this was in english) and go to our room and sleep (this was in spanish).  We were appauled! One it was only 12 at night and 2 after that they wouldn´t stop telling us to Shut up in english!!  So we took our movie and went to our room and watched the mvie on Kenzie´s laptop.
The next morning we woke up at 8! Because the sun was streaming through the window right into our eyes. But it was amazing outside! All the fog was gone and it was a wonderful bright and sunny day so we went for a walk and wgot to see the lake! They actually called it a lagoon but, as Kenzie told me, it didn´t reach the ocean so it actually wasn´t a lagoon.  Still we got to see some different houses and we got to ride on ATV´s.  We were not allowed to drive them and we weren´t allowed on them for very long because  Kenzie´s host dad is a Rotary Member and he knows the rules! We are not allowed to Drive, Drink, do Drugs, Date, get Dats (tatoos, piercings and what-not), or Download porn.  Those are the 6 D´s we were told about here in Mexico. So we couldn´t drive the ATV´s. 
Anyways turns out we had to leave early cause one of the friends flipped his ATV and is fell on his leg and he told them he felt tired adn that eh thought he broke it so we were freakign out running around packing up and then once we left i saw him adjust howw he sat in his seat and adjust the postion of his legs with out a wince or ANYTHING! so me and Kenzie diagnosed him with Major bruise and nothing more adn we were totally right! He even wennt into emergency adn then he went and got and x-ray. And we were right! and he was pretty much fine walking but he asked for a wheel chair anyways. So we felt that we had gotten worked up over nothing. But we still had a great time!!

These eyes

Actually htat is a song title by the Guess Who, or is it the Who?  I´m not quite sure. 
But i think my eyes are changing.
I am begining to see things in a differnet way then i would before.  Or mabey i am just begining to care more about how I and the things I do affect others.
Por ejemplo, if i were to to decide that the world is flat and randomly yell that to people on the street what in hte world would that do to people? besides thinking that i am crazy and should be in a hospital. Would some one try and tell me that the world is round?
Or less extreme, what would it do to people if i didn´t talk, or began painting my nails black, would somethin as outside as dark nail polish change peoples views of me?
Would that be so different to people? a Sign that i am becoming something else? 
ARGG! that got really dark! sorry lighter one coming up next!
